Big Ten Expansion Analysis

Good in-depth analysis here from Jason Nessa on Big Ten expansion. He believes their best move would be to go to 14 teams with Texas, Missouri and Rutgers being the additions. I don’t see Texas switching conferences, but he does make a good argument.

I’ve already written that I expect Rutgers to go to the Big Ten. Recently there were false rumors about Pittsburgh making the leap from the Big East to the Big Ten. The expectation is that if the Big Ten does decide to expand they will be extending the invitations toward the end of 2010 or even early 2011. Regardless it does appear to be likely that at least one Big East school will be in the crosshairs.
